FREE PERMITTING?!?

The Redwood Region has over one hundred years of film history. From the first production, '
Lass of the Lumberlands' in 1916, to the recently released '
A Wrinkle in Time,' filmmakers have come to our region seeking to capture our unique beauty on film. As the local film liaison office, our job is to help productions navigate filming in a rural location. One of the things we deal with most often, like any film office, is permitting. This month, we've put together a list of our region's permitting fees to aid in planning your shoot here in the Redwood Region. We think you'll be happy with the inexpensive (or FREE!) cost for permitting and locations!
